Inspecting Players / Mounts

Would like to hear the community's take on this, I would genuinely really like to see Mounts as for me personally, one of the worst / not very thought out parts of the game are the quests so far, seems like you're mindlessly running to places back and fourth, so mounts for me at least would feel a lot better, it also adds a huge opportunity for them to make certain mounts very rare, as in wow for example mount collecting is a big thing and people thoroughly enjoy mounts.

Inspecting players seems like a no-brainer to me? but would like to see others opinions on this, I think it's rather silly that you can't check other peoples gear imo.

Don't see why not for both subjects.

I think AGS is in a position to introduce mounts with different functions that are possibly unique to the game aside from semi-permanent speed buffs.

I don't entirely mind inspecting, but I also don't see a current point at the moment. PvE-wise, I don't think there's a DPS check yet to justify having one and for PvP, normally I'd use inspect to see whether the opponent has gear I want, whether it's worth it, but since the risks have been nullified since Alpha, I don't think it would apply as much. Still not against it though.

Fair point, I think the inspect feature may just be something I personally like, rather than a need to have in the game, I mainly just think it's cool to be able to see what gear other people are using.

theres already fast travel, mounts are redundant. the island isnt THAT big, seems more effort could be allocated in other areas. I think mounts are a long way off, a year atleast

mounts are not wanted or needed ingame

Adding inspection opens the door to min/maxing gear and I don't want that. My experience with Wow has taught me that this can be very divisive if items are required for raids yet the guilds wont help you obtain them because they are already chasing the next meta.

That's a good point, but I think min/maxing gear will happen regardless, there will still be guides / sites that show your best in slot and how to fully min/max, I don't think inspecting will really make much of a difference in that, but I do see how it would effect your chances at getting in groups.
